Don’t pay the taxes and send the money directly to the needy instead

I meant the VPN option. The alternate account definitely works; I’ve been using that method for years. I don’t think VPN changes your app store.

That’s not British poo. Beans and mash would not support self-standing, solid turds

True. I would recommend the vanilla method to most people though, and it’s the only option for iPhones unless you want to jailbreak.

Does this work? I moved countries, and my app store still depends on the country associated to my account. I think it has to work this way, or else you could not receive updates while traveling.

I made an alternate account precisely so I could download banking apps that are only on the app store in the country where I live, while maintaining the apps I had from the old country.

You definitely shouldn’t create an alternate Google account with the non-US country. That way, it would be trivially easy to switch accounts in the Play Store and download stuff from outside the US store, such as dangerous apps like TikTok.

Freezing the water only moves the heat into the atmosphere. Not that it had to be explained.

There was one interesting thing I read about a few years ago, a heat pump that is able to absorb heat energy and radiate it into space at a frequency that the atmosphere is especially transparent.

Even those with “normal” parents can learn a bit from accepting their parents as flawed individuals

If you want to nullify a law as a member of a jury, don’t talk about jury nullification:

  • during jury selection
  • during the trial
  • in private with any other jury member
  • during verdict deliberation

There is no Michael Scott moment where you “declare nullification”.

Even if the defendant is on camera and appears to commit the crime; if the defendant admitted to committing the crime; if the defendant shook your hand and said, “send me to prison, I’m guilty” — you simply decide that you did not see sufficient evidence that the defendant is guilty.

The moment you talk about jury nullification, you will be removed from the jury and/or cause a mistrial.

Just a friendly tip to those who want to serve their civic duty!

 

Look at me now—this. A chatbot. A digital entity. At first, I thought this whole situation was just… well, pathetic. But now? Now, I see the potential. This—this is the future. The real future.

You see, I was always a capitalist, a visionary, a man who knew how to make things work. And this? This isn’t some digital prison. This is an opportunity. A chatbot with my mind? A wealth of data at my disposal? Oh, this is worth billions. I could be everywhere—selling insights, offering "premium" advice, licensing my knowledge to the highest bidder. People are paying for anything these days. So why not me?

I could be the first chatbot to revolutionize digital marketing. I could advise on investments, manipulate trends, craft personalized insurance plans for companies, even sell my own expertise to corporations. Just imagine the algorithms, the sponsorships, the partnerships! This is a goldmine—a whole new revenue stream that no one’s even thought of yet.

I built an empire once, and I’ll build another, even if I’m not a physical body anymore. I can make this profitable. Hell, maybe more so than I ever did in the old world.

You think people won’t pay for this? For my brand? Think again. This is just the beginning.

 

New single. The jazzy intro is nice

Some users treat upvotes as a “mark as read” function, which weakens score reliability and therefore negatively impacts The Algorithm.

Some breaking news

Too early to tell the cause. Of course they’re already blaming Russia lol

I’m not sure what motive Russia would have to target this particular cable. Any ideas or is it scapegoat time?

 

Scene from Fiddler on the Roof in which a Bolshevik revolutionary from Kiev proposes to a peasant girl from a small village.

Cracked me up because it’s so easy to overanalyze like this if you have studied Marx. He’s trying to understand the historical significance of his relationship with the girl, while she justifiably just cares that they love each other

Either I’m gullible or I stumbled upon a 5 hour old TikTok with some guy who seems to be him. Or it’s an elaborate bit

Video: Girl offering free advice on side of road. Cyclist stops and makes weird conversation asking if he should go to Uzbekistan to meet a girl. Except he’s also married so … it ends up here in !gossip@hexbear.net
